Canadian Carriage
In September 2008, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission officially approved a request by Shaw Communications to allow carriage of BTN in Canada on its specialty television services. While CTVglobemedia filed a concern that it would illegally compete with its mainstream sports channel TSN, the CRTC determined that BTN would not harm TSN because of its "very niche" scope BTN became available to Shaw customers on December 3, 2008. The channel became available on Rogers Cable in Ontario and New Brunswick on October 22, 2009.
